	The most common cause is that gettimeofday() returned an
	invalid time, tv_usec out of range.  This resulted in a
	out of range value being passed to select/pselect which
	returned a error.

	The second possible cause is when the select/pselect complains
	about a tcp socket that has been closed/reset in the kernel
	but named has not yet closed.

	Both of these are the result of kernel bugs.
